To encrypt a password, complete the following steps.
- Open the command prompt as an administrator.
-
At the command prompt, navigate to the directory where
the Password_Encrypt.bat file is located, and run the below
command.
Password_Encrypt.bat<space><Password to encrypt><space><Path of the Output Encrypted Password file>
You can use any name for the Output Encrypted Password file, for example Encrypted_Password.txt. The password must not exceed 280 characters in length. After you run the above command, the text file that is generated contains the encrypted password. The Password_Encrypt.bat file uses RSA3072 encryption, by default. It is therefore recommended that you use the RSA3072 encryption methodology. However, if you want to use the RSA1024 encryption methodology, enter RSA1024 as the value of the optional parameter.Example: Password_Encrypt.bat<space><Password to encrypt><space><Path of the Output Encrypted Password file><space><RSA1024>For RSA1024, the password must not exceed 30 characters in length.
